Description: This carmine-red postage stamp is a standard definitive issue from West Germany, released under the state postal administration of the Deutsche Bundespost. The design showcases the left-profile portrait of Prof. Dr. Theodor Heuss, the foundational political figure who served as the first President of West Germany following World War II. The text "DEUTSCHE BUNDESPOST" arches beautifully over his head in a clean, sans-serif typography, while the bold denomination of 20 Pfennig anchors the bottom of the stamp frame. This specific example bears a heavy black, wavy machine-applied postal cancellation mark.
